    Gwen Guthrie was a singer was an singer-songwriter and pianist who also sang backing vocals for Aretha Franklin, Billy Joel, and Stevie Wonder to name a few. And who wrote songs made famous by Ben E. King, Angela Bofill and Roberta Flack.

    Guthrie is well known for her 1986 anthem "Ain't Nothin' Goin' On but the Rent.” It was released in 1986 as the lead single from her fourth album Good to Go Lover. It became the biggest hit of Guthrie's career, and the song's title became a semi-popular catchphrase among many women throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s. The single peaked at number five in the UK, but hit number one in New Zealand, Zimbabwe and on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play.

    Gwen Guthrie said in her lyrics: No romance without finance
    Nothing in life is free
    That's why I'm asking you what can you do for me
    I've got responsibility
    So I'm looking for a man who's got money in his hand …
    You got to have a J-O-B if you wanna be with me.
